The transformation plan includes several bold measures, such as merging Army Futures Command and Training and Doctrine Command into a new organization, divesting outdated formations including select armor and aviation units, and reducing manned attack helicopter formations while augmenting them with inexpensive drone swarms. Hegseth's directive prioritizes investments in long-range precision fires, air and missile defense (including the "Golden Dome for America" initiative), cyber capabilities, electronic warfare, and counter-space capabilities.
In another significant move announced on May 13, Hegseth revealed plans to slash the number of senior military leaders across all services. This would eliminate about 20% of top active duty general and admiral jobs, affecting approximately nine four-star general positions, and cut 10% of the more than 800 one-, two-, and three-star positions. Additionally, 33 senior National Guard positions would be eliminated. While the overall force size may not decrease, the intent is to thin out higher ranks and offset those cuts with additional troops at lower levels, resulting in lower salary costs.
These changes align with the broader Trump administration initiative to slash spending and personnel across federal agencies, supported by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. Some Democratic members of Congress have criticized the plans as an attempt to politicize the military.
Hegseth has also been under scrutiny following reports in April that he allegedly shared sensitive military plans regarding strikes against the Houthis in a private Signal chat that included non-clearance holders such as his wife and brother. The acting inspector general of the Defense Department is investigating the matter. In response to calls for his resignation from the Democratic National Committee, Hegseth took to his personal Twitter account, stating that the Democrats' "agenda is illegals, trans & DEI, all of which are no longer allowed" at the Defense Department.
Recently, on May 6, Hegseth delivered a keynote address at Special Operations Forces Week 2025, continuing to emphasize his vision for reshaping the military that he first made clear before arriving at the Pentagon on January 27, 2025. As Hegseth approaches nearly four months in office, his transformation agenda appears to be accelerating, with significant implications for the structure, operations, and leadership of the U.S. military.
